And furthermore, in whose hands should this decision rest in? Lawmakers? Department leaders? The individual?

This week, Scott turns over the podcast to the Geekymedic Chris Montera and Sean Eddy which allows the pair to engage in a spirited debate on the utlimate question: should we arm them?

Also, stay tuned after the closing music for a little nugget from the cutting room floor. . .

In this episode they each pick a product innovator for the show and also talk about what they hope to see at the next conference from the folks at JEMS and PennWell.

Among the product picks are two British products moving to the US from UK EMS services. First, Jamie has on the Mangar Elk, an airbag based patient lifting device to save EMS provider’s backs from lifting and patient moving injuries. The device is easy to setup and easy to use but a single provider or a pair of providers.

Also coming on the show is a unique pediatric restraint device that can be quickly attached to any cot, covers children of various sizes and also comes from the UK. The folks at Quantum-EMS brought this tool in to share the tool already being used all over England and many other parts of the world.

Today Ferno announced the COOLEST product to hit the market in years. The iNX is a patient transport system. This is not your ordinary COT. No it is the way we will make EMS future proof. This product culminates years of research. Ferno is truly leading the way in this area. Guess what fans, this cot locks into our normal cot interface and will reduce your lifting to ZERO. Yes…zero. I have used this cot and it works flawless. I am truly impressed with what Ferno has done for us in the EMS industry.

Also on the panel is Carissa Caramanis O’Brien health care social media expert and consultant, as well as director of social media for Aetna. Baxter talks about the impetus to improve healthcare for the people of California with an initiative to add a community paramedic or mobile integrated healthcare program to that state’s EMS laws.

Carissa also brings up how using social media channels to listen to voices for change in healthcare. While channels like Twitter are limited to pushing out 140 characters in a post, there are many more words that can come back in response to a post and these various voices and points of view provide the information to give direction to change.

Stay tuned here for more segments from EMS Today and a special thank you to PennWell, JEMS, and Physio-Control for sponsoring our podcast studio at this event.

Never one to shy away from tough topics, Scott kicks off the discussion with a look at why EMS providers make such mistakes with the way they document their ambulance calls. An important discussion to protect the paramedics and EMTs legally as well as take the best possible care of the patient by sending along an accurate patient report to the hospital when you transport.

http://emsgarage.com/1007/ems-garage-episode-178-ces-2014-coverage-dexcom/#commentsMon, 20 Jan 2014 00:07:28 +0000http://emsgarage.com/?p=1007Terry Gregg, CEO of Dexcom, chats with Chris Montera about the new continuous glucose monitoring system from Dexcom debuting at the International CES conference earlier this month in Las Vegas. The Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose monitor is the all-new Continuous Glucose Monitor featuring an extended 20 foot wireless range, glucose trends on a video monitor in vibrant color and a sleek and small receiver available in three colors – Classic Black, Ocean Blue, and Tickled Pink.

Continuous glucose monitoring is important for diabetes patients because their bodies lack the ability to monitor and regulate their glucose levels on their own. With the new “Share Cradle,” the uses can insert their wireless monitor for charging and also upload their monitoring data on their connected mobile device to up to 5 people. These can be family caregivers like a parent or adult child as well as health care professionals caring for the patient. The follower app allows those care givers to see what is going on with their loved one in real time via the direct connection with the continuous blood glucose monitor.

http://emsgarage.com/866/ghost-of-christmas-past-ems-garage-episode-153/#commentsSat, 14 Jan 2012 20:45:08 +0000http://emsgarage.com/?p=866This week we talk about the Facebook posting about the EMSA ambulance crash. An exert of the posting is below:

“Some of you have heard about the unfortunate ambulance accident in Oklahoma City with EMSA Ambulance. Any of of us that have been in this profession for a period of time have probably been in an accident – our fault or not. I have friends who work there and have permission to reflect her thoughts. This also speaks to not believing everything you hear, unbiased reporting, being an EMS advocate, and showing compassion for both sides. Thanks, Carly Prutzman

To those running their mouths regarding the EMSA wreck: shut your mouth(s)! If you are a member of the organization yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but this is not the time or the venue to share it. If you are not a member of the profession then you need to shut the hell up. You have no clue what these men and women do and sacrifice every day to ensure the safety of the community they serve. Regardless of the circumstances, no one wakes up and says, “Gee, I think I’ll hurt someone today.” Regardless of your position in healthcare, we have all had close calls and made mistakes. Some of us were lucky and learned and some of us have been less fortunate. It is hard for all of us to live with the burden of caring for another. We are not God. It is sad that this EMT will live with this the rest of his life. While this situation brings EMS safety practices and procedures under scrutiny and criticism, it’s important to remember that we (whether you are in the field or not) have to be ever vigilant of the dangers that exist when we work and remember that sometimes WE are the most critical link in advocacy and affecting change in our profession.”

The reaction is mixed but the intent is there for a good show. We also have Ms. Aimee Garcia from the show joins us for a live on air interview! Great stuff.

Join leading EMS Podcasters Jamie Davis, Chris Montera, Greg Friese and others in watching and discussing the premiere of the new NBC show Trauma. Browse to EMSGarage.com/live or http://mediccastlive.com at 9 p.m. EDT/ 8p.m. CST on Monday September 28, 2009 for live conversation and commentary. Trauma, the dramatic new show about paramedics in San Francisco promises to be an action packed exploration of the profession and the stresses it places on relationships.

During the premiere, using the online platform TalkShoe or Ustream.tv for video Jamie, Chris, Greg and other podcasters and EMS bloggers will be discussing the action, plot, and EMS technique of the show and its cast. Listeners will be able to text chat with one another and the hosts as the premiere unfolds.

After the show Jamie Davis, an RN, paramedic, and host of the MedicCast (http://mediccast.com) – the highest ranked EMS podcast – will take calls from listeners. Jamie Davis is watching the premiere of trauma because “I am looking for a program that will portray the real issues in EMS while inspiring a new generation to join the profession as previous shows like Emergency inspired me to become a paramedic.”

Greg Friese, a paramedic and co-host of the EMSEduCast podcast (http://emseducast.com) reports, “I want Trauma to be authentic and respectful of EMS. Like many EMS professionals I am excited and skeptical about Trauma’s potential. I am excited to watch and discuss Trauma with an international audience.”

Chris Montera, a paramedic chief and host of the EMS Garage podcast (http://emsgarage.com) shares, “EMS professionals would love for Trauma to succeed and draw attention to the work we do, but if it is a miserable failure we have no problem calling it DOA!”

Sponsorship opportunities for the Trauma premiere party are available to companies and vendors that want to reach EMS professionals using social media. Sponsorship includes in-show special mentions and links from the podcast show notes. Contact Jamie Davis, podmedic@mac.com or call 443-309-2090 for details on this unique and limited opportunity.
